Sean’s prestige was almost as high as Mr. Ford Sr. The aggressive look in his eyes was a clear warning to the servants, so none of them dared to speak a word to Julio about his whereabouts.Openly, he walked into the house with his so-called sister-in-law. He carried her on his shoulder. He walked right into their room. Shannon swept her eyes across the room and saw the photo that was placed on the bedside table.It was a photo taken when she celebrated her 18th birthday.In the photo, a woman that looked just like her had nestled her head on his shoulder, grinning cheerfully. He seemed faintly aloof like he always did, but the way he looked at her was full of great fondness.For some reason, she was drawn to the photo almost instantaneously. With careful steps, she walked towards the bedside table and pondered the woman’s identity. Who was this woman that looked just the same as her?Ever since they met, Sean had been addressing her as Shannon, so she quickly knew that the woma

Sean’s glance turned into a gaze. The magnetism of his prolonged eye contact had amplified his love for her.His eyes lingered on her face for the last time. “I’d also like you to know that I love you, Shannon, for all eternity.”Without hesitation, he put the glass on his lips.Although Shannon had been hypnotized and had an inaccurate memory, she had not lost her ability to think. She was now certain that he already knew about the pill in the glass of water. He probably knew the fatality of the pill, too.However, she could not figure out why he insisted on drinking the glass of poisoned water, knowing that his life would be thoroughly ruined.Was he doing it out of guilt to compensate for the loss of her son?He did not seem like a compassionate man, at least from what she had heard.Was he doing it out of love? Was it true that he loved her so much he would do anything for her?She certainly hoped not.Impulsively, she shook her head to dismiss the thought. There was no lo

There was a grey car that stopped around the corner not far from the house. Quinn was in the car, waiting patiently for her prey to fall into the trap. Gently, she stroked her baby bump, but even in a gesture of motherly love, the menacing look on her face was hard to miss.She was told about Shannon’s return and had been monitoring her whereabouts ever since.Shannon seemed to have lost her memory, but Sean had no intention of moving on.Sean, do you really love Shannon that much?Oh, well, your love will be the death of her.Also, Julio, too.Quinn and Julio were childhood friends. He behaved like a gentleman throughout the time that they were together, but with a calm disposition - courteous, but faintly aloof. In fact, she found him strangely distant every time they talked. Whenever he was with Shannon, however, he behaved quite differently. There was always a gentle smile on his face when they were together.Two outstanding men were both attracted to Shannon at the same tim

No! She refused to fall into the hands of these two disgusting men. With persistence, she must fight until the end.She bit her lips so hard that her teeth sank into her flesh, causing the wound to bleed steadily. Pain brought her clarity, so she could finally think straight. She shot a glance at the bedside table and saw a glass. Promptly she grabbed the glass and aimed for Eli Jenk’s head.“Bitch, I’m going to make you suffer so much tonight!”On the spur of the moment, Eli cut her off and took away the glass from her hand. He then slapped her face, rather forcefully and loudly, which caused her pretty face to swell up badly.Clearly, he did not mean to show her any mercy. The slap was so hard that she began to suffer dizzy spells.To make matters worse, he did not give her any time to recover before tearing her clothes off.“Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! Get your hands off me! Don’t you touch me!” She fought on. “Help!”The disparity of physical strength between Shannon and

Sean took Shannon all the way back to his mansion.She had been fed with the most powerful pill of its kind. When they finally got home, her body temperature was abnormally high.Eagerly, she tried to break away. Instinct told her not to get entangled with her brother-in-law.Repeatedly, she told herself that Julio was the man she loved and that they would be getting married very soon. However, there was only one name that kept coming to her mind.Sean. Sean...Why? Why did his name keep coming back to haunt her?Is it because of the immense hatred?Or could it be…She did not want to go there.What she desperately needed was a cold shower to calm herself down. Falteringly, she tried to walk to the bathroom, but he clasped her in his arms to stop her from leaving.His sweet lips were attached to hers, and soon, their tongues were intertwined. Lost in the kiss, she could feel her mind drift. With one last effort, she regained her strength and gave him a hard slap in the face.
